The Inspector-General of Police,
Force Headquarters,
Louis Edet House,
Abuja.
Dear Sir,
IN THE MATTER OF THE EXTRA-JUDICIAL KILLING OF CHIEF OGBE ONOKPITE (WHO WAS A GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE OF THE CITIZENS POPULAR PARTY IN APRIL 26TH GENERAL ELECTIONS HELD IN DELTA STATE)
We act on behalf of the members of the ONOKPITE and IGHOMRORE families of Okpe and Uvwie Local Governments in Delta State respectively represented by Chief V. E. Onokpite who is the elder brother to Chief Ogbe Onokpite.
It is our brief that Chief Ogbe Onokpite (born 38 years ago) WHO WAS A GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE OF THE CITIZENS POPULAR PARTY IN APRIL 26TH GENERAL ELECTIONS HELD IN DELTA STATE was lodging at a hotel called Beeland Hotel situated at Orhuwhorun in Udu Local Government Area, Delta State when men of the Nigeria Police attached to the Police Area Command, Warri (in the company of other plain cloth unidentified persons) stormed the hotel to arrest Chief Ogbe Onokpite.
On arrival at the said Hotel, the police ordered the receptionist on duty at the hotel to show them the room where Chief Ogbe Onokpite was lodging. Out of extreme fear, the receptionist obeyed and took the policemen to Ogbe’s room and he was immediately arrested and brought out (to the open still within the hotel premises) and shot in the leg.
Chief Ogbe was then carried out of the Hotel premises (still alive) in a vehicle bearing the inscription of the Nigeria Police, Area Command Warri to the Police Station at Warri where he was again shot in other more delicate parts of his body and left thereat to bleed to death.
The attached photographs speak volume as to the barbaric and dastard murder without trial of Chief Ogbe Onokpite in the hands of men of the Nigeria Police under the watchful eyes of the Area Commander in Charge of the Policemen serving the Delta Central District of Delta State.
Need we say that Chief Ogbe Onokpite has a right to life guaranteed by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 and nothing in this Constitution justifies extra-judicial killing of any person no matter the offence he may have committed.
It is in the light of the foregoing, we are calling on you to employ your good offices to unravel and bring to book the officers and men of the Nigeria Police Force involved in this illegal killing of Chief Ogbe Onokpite who, like any other citizen of Nigeria is presumed innocent until proved guilty.
The Onokpite family is prepared and are urgently requesting for a Coroners’ Inquest to be made in order to obtain the autopsy report and a full Criminal Investigation Report of the murder of an innocent citizen. The lifeless body of Ogbe Onokpite has been dumped at the morgue in the Central Hospital Warri, Delta State.
We look forward to an expeditious treatment of this petition in the interest of justice and for the benefit of the bereaved family members.
Yours sincerely,
FESTUS KEYAMO, ESQ.
